Police Oracle - Subscription at source 15/8/2024 News Communicating and categorising ‘kidnap’ incidents in UK police emergency calls: a conversation analytic study This study of police emergency calls in the UK addresses the interactional work conducted when dealing with reports of kidnap. In the UK, kidnap is classed as a type of ‘crime-in-action’, known to be complex to categorise and code for the appropriate police response. Using the qualitative method of ‘conversation analysis’, we address this complexity through analysing a dataset of anonymised emergency calls which are, at some point during the call or subsequent police investigation, categorised as ‘kidnap’. Analysing the calls, their categorisations and the accompanying incident logs, we aim to understand the difficulties that can arise in identifying this type of high-stakes incident at the first point of police contact. We find callers encode differing levels of ‘entitlement’ in requests for police assistance, with potential effects on call-handlers’ decisions about kidnap categorisations. We also observe interactional difficulties in establishing information about the incident, either through the caller’s displayed lack of knowledge or certainty, difficulty in producing turns or sometimes resistance to providing further information. These features may render the call-handler’s task of categorising incidents as ‘kidnap’ more challenging. Our identification of these communicative patterns has potential benefits for call-handlers’ practices in the police control room, providing an evidence-base from real-life talk for training. The findings also have implications at an institutional level, as they shed light on the negotiations that underly ‘categorisation’ work in policing, where there may sometimes only be a tacit understanding of how crime categories are decided during initial reports from the public.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 15/8/2024 Feature, Interview The Show Must Go On! An Autoethnography of (Re)socialization into Senior Policing in England and the Prominence of “Leadership Theatre” This article explores how socialization impacts upon senior police officers in England and perpetuates organizational cultures. We explore the hitherto recondite world of the senior police manager by examining how a superintendent is (re)socialized to conform with a prevailing culture after returning from a two-and-a-half-year secondment. Analytic autoethnography situates first-hand experience within an academic framework. We find that Van Maanen’s motivational factors of punishment-centered supervision, keeping a low profile, narrow perceptions of “real” police work, and conflicting role demands still persist. This suppresses alternative leadership styles, contradicts policing’s espoused progressive philosophies, and leads to “leadership theatre”—where the impression of control and effectiveness outweighs delivery. Journal of Contemporary Ethnography 15/8/2024 Research article Using Research to Improve Policing post Casey—and Why that Might not Happen Crime is a problem that extends beyond police and policing. As the saying goes, ‘you can't arrest your way out of crime’, nor can you police your way out of a recruitment crisis, or baton-charge to improve trust. Policing faces some novel challenges, but not every policing problem is unique and there are ideas from outside policing that can help. This article makes suggestions on ways to resolve some of the issues raised in the Casey review using evidence from different disciplines and concludes with some reasons why research evidence is not routinely used in policing and what can be done to change this.
